Abstract

In this study, we have synthesized a new Ti–23Nb–0.7Ta–2Zr–0.5N alloy composition with the aim to obtain useful mechanical properties to be used in medicine such as high strength, good superelastic property, low modulus, and large ductility. Thus, mechanical properties including superelasticity and plasticity were investigated in relation with the different deformation mechanisms observed (stress-induced martensitic transformation, twinning and dislocation slip). On the other hand, the corrosion resistance in simulated body fluid (Ringer solution) and the in vitro cell behavior (MG63 human osteoblasts) of such biomedical alloy were also evaluated in order to assess its biocompatibility.
